[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The essay is not a writing test.[/quote] Okay, apply with a poorly organized, poorly crafted and poorly written essay and see how that goes.[/quote] Having a well written essay is table stakes. What you need is a compelling story[/quote] Don't write a poor quality essay that gives an excuse not to admit. You can have a compelling story or you can use a pretty standardized theme, but it better be well written because it is actually a writing sample.[/quote] It’s really not. Writing samples, depending on the context, are testing different things. Different admissions offices are usually looking for something different once a minimum threshold (much lower than you think) has been met.[/quote]
